Chapter 557 A Single Move Affects the Whole Body! (Five Thousand)
ps: I would like to thank my book friend "Shadow Sniper" for the reward!
At the same time, a temporary discussion was also going on somewhere. However, the meeting had ended at this time, and the wooden door of the simple hut opened, and groups of people filed out in twos and threes, with relaxed expressions, laughter and greetings...
"Haha, Minister Bosco, thanks to your discernment this time, otherwise we might have fallen into the trap of those greedy guys!"
"That's ridiculous, I only thought of it occasionally..."
"Hey, Secretary Bosco, stop being so modest. Once is it an accident, two or three times?"
"That's right! Although those greedy guys from the New Nobles are now in a cooperative relationship with us, they have not stopped stabbing in the back... Huh, they want us to be cannon fodder for charging into battle every time. They really think that everyone is a fool. ?"
"Fortunately, we have Minister Bosco, oh, no, it's Congressman Bosco..."
"Well, let's laugh..."
…[
The conversation and laughter with a hint of admiration and flattery continued, and the object of everyone's praise, that is, the curly-haired old man standing in the crowd waved his hands in response from time to time. His expression was modest and his posture was calm, and he had the demeanor of a low-key wise man.
After chatting for a while, a middle-aged man came in a hurry and stood on the outside looking at the curly-haired old man with an anxious expression. Then everyone bowed politely and said goodbye.
"A few days ago, a new tavern opened in the east of the city. I heard that the rum there is brewed from ancestors and has a unique taste... Minister Bosco, how about we go have a drink together sometime? I just want to take this opportunity to ask for some advice. matter……"
"Oh? An ancestral brew? It's really thanks to you. I want to try it."
"Haha, it's settled then. I'll send someone to notify you of the specific time."
"Okay. Then I'm not welcome. Haha..."
…
Amidst the laughter, Bosco bid farewell to the last person in a friendly manner. The smile on his face did not fade away, and he turned to look at the middle-aged man who had been waiting aside.
The latter understood and stepped forward. He was probably a member of the family. He bowed and reported: "Sir, Master Enoch and Master Borg are back. They are eager to see you."
"Huh?" Bosco was slightly startled when he heard this. Immediately, Bu frowned, his face a little gloomy, "Borg... hmph, does this idiot finally dare to come back?"
Naturally, Bosco also heard about what Borg caused on the front line. Although it is impossible to know all the specific causes and consequences, it is an indisputable fact that Borg and Michu took action and were sent back.
As a result, Bosco was undoubtedly angry about Borg's extremely irrational self-destructive behavior. It can be said. If Enoch hadn't intercepted Borg halfway in time and brought him to Shanxi City. Bosco was so angry that he had to teach Borg a lesson.
But now that things have passed for several days, Bosco was equally angry when he heard that Borg was back, but at least he suppressed his anger. He waved his hand and walked towards the family residence without thinking too much... He was anxious to see me and even invited Enoch back. Are you afraid that I will do it? snort! Something worthless...
Thinking like this, Bosco couldn't help but feel a little angry at Borg, the only heir, but this anger was quickly covered up by his good mood just now.
Yes, Bosco has been in a good mood since receiving his membership of Parliament a few months ago! This feeling of pleasure is even more intense and exciting than the greatest achievement in this life - that is, using smuggling profits to raise his family from baron to viscount status more than ten years ago! [
This kind of excitement that makes me unable to control my emotions is not only due to surpassing my previous status, but more importantly, it comes from the heavy sense of accomplishment in my heart.
Since the family was reported and purged, although they fled decisively, there were basically no casualties among the clan members. However, the confusion about the unknown future and the gap from a noble nobleman to a wanted criminal who is not allowed to live in the world will inevitably make everyone in the clan panic all day long. It was at that time that he defied all opinions and chose to join the Gray Army.
To be honest, the main reason why Bosco made this decision in the first place was because he was desperate. The rest was just a little bit unwilling to accept that his family had fallen apart in his hands over the past few hundred years and his people were scattered everywhere. Hiding incognito - this is the greatest insult to the family's honor!
Fortunately, such a situation did not occur later. After joining the Gray Army, the family was temporarily preserved intact. And he, the former Viscount Bosco, also became the rebellious untouchable leader he had despised in a very short period of time... Although this promotion speed was a bit fast, it was not unexpected. It's just that the result is a bit ironic...
Luo Sha is a sensible person and knows that he is much more useful than the civilians who just throw away their farm tools and pick up knives, only to kill. What's more, there is a complete viscount family behind him. Although he is chased as a lost dog, his heritage is still there, and there is no shortage of talents in all aspects. As long as Luo Sha wants to make the Gray Army bigger, then the role of his family cannot be ignored!
This is the fact. Soon, through ruthless or flexible means, one after another, one after another, the achievements came one after another... The hardships and the blood price paid by the family for this are not enough for outsiders to know, and they need to be told in detail. . Because these sacrifices were all worth it, the family finally gained a firm foothold in the Gray Army, and was gradually recognized and respected by the civilians. His status also rose accordingly, becoming one of the top leaders second only to Luo Shaxia. one!
Of course, changing his identity from the small leader of the rebel team to the big leader of the rebel team is really nothing to show off. To be honest, Bosco thought about betrayal at that time.
Although this idea is a bit shameful, it is actually reasonable. Bosco, who has been immersed in the aristocratic circles all his life, would not think that he would develop a sense of belonging to the Gray Army, a rebel group, just by staying here for a while. What he yearns for is the decent status of standing in the sun.
And with his status at that time, he was enough to have contact with all aspects of the Gray Army, so he still had the bargaining chip for betrayal in his hand. I believe that King Bran's court hates him, an insignificant smuggling noble, more deeply than the Gray Army, a group that gives them headaches from time to time!
But after thinking about it for a whole night, he finally resisted this tempting idea. Because he felt that the potential of the Gray Army had not yet been fully explored. Or. It’s not enough to give the Bran Empire an even bigger headache! Just like a commodity, it would be unwise to sell it hastily before its value is fully realized.
Next, the sudden change in the gray army undoubtedly proved his point of view, and even greatly exceeded his expectations!
First, he took hostages and forced Brandu City to come to negotiate. There was also a small episode in which a few big nobles from the capital invited him to drink tea. And promised to let him betray on the condition of restoring his status as viscount. At that time, Bosco chose to simply refuse, because his vision had become far-reaching at that time, and this episode was probably a reassurance for him!
From that moment on, he was convinced that he indeed had a good hand...
Later, the Gray Army ushered in a period of unprecedented development. The number of people who took refuge at the front continued to increase, and all aspects of the framework were gradually improved. They even had their own base camp and built a majestic city!
This is changing rapidly. It made him a little dazzled, vaguely. He saw a shortcut to reach the pinnacle of family glory without betrayal or relying on King Bran's court!
Sure enough, after two consecutive battles, under Dawn City, they destroyed the invading Bran army and became famous! Immediately, he sent his troops out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, won many battles, and reached the surrounding cities as if they were overwhelming!
At that time, Bosco was convinced that their current power could not only cause headaches to the Bran Empire, but also truly harm this behemoth!
The product turned into a peerless weapon, the kind that can be upgraded... One can imagine the surprise that this huge disparity brought to Bosco, and the status of a councilor brought about by the negotiations between the two parties made Bosco feel even more... Sitting at home, I feel like gold coins are falling from the sky.
Losa will definitely get one of the three parliamentary memberships, and the other two, thanks to the family's previous contributions and Bosco's decision to support Losa not to attack Bran City at the critical moment, were finally able to obtain it. To a.
Member of Parliament, haha... Although it has been a long time since he was sealed, Bosco still feels very dreamy and excited when he thinks about it now. Such a lofty status, not to mention his current status, even the status of Viscount in the past was unimaginable! There are countless great nobles of the Bran Empire, centuries-old families, etc., but how many can obtain this status?
Finally got over it...
…
The above is a legendary experience. Let’s not talk about evaluation for the moment, let’s just say that Bosco has led his family through a bloody journey, and he is indeed qualified to enjoy a heavy sense of accomplishment in his heart, and be proud of it!
Of course, this is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go. But Bosco is very confident now, and he plans to bring his family to the pinnacle of glory in his later years for future generations to admire!
This statement is not false, but a real and attainable goal. It is the Gray Army itself that provides the ladder for advancement. It is no exaggeration to say that today's Gray Army cannot do without Bosco! Just like just now...
Members of Parliament have the right to vote on major issues in the empire, and because of the special status of the Gray Army, Luosha and the others cannot go to the capital of the empire to vote. That would be an act of sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. Therefore, whenever there is a major matter that needs to be discussed, people from the capital city will send relevant documents and materials here, and then they will make decisions and vote.
For this reason, the Imperial Magician Guild has established a remote teleportation array in the cities surrounding Shiwanda Mountain. Oh, to make a digression, Bran originally wanted to build this teleportation array in Dawn City, but Luo Sha and the others did not agree. Naturally, everyone understands the reason...
Closer to home, since something has been communicated, the senior leaders of the Gray Army will naturally discuss it. Of course, in the first few votes, Losa and the others all echoed the suggestions from the new nobles, almost following the trend.
This certainly does not mean that they have deviated from the purpose of the Gray Army and are colluding with the nobles. But all the senior officials, including Luosha, came into contact with these things that represented intricate connections and many interests for the first time, and they didn't know how to start for a while. I can only agree with the vote while studying these things in detail, which is considered to be in a learning state.
And this is the limitation of civilian groups like the Gray Army. Most of the people at the top can basically use simple and crude words to arouse the passion of tens of millions of civilian soldiers, but when faced with official words on luxurious parchment that can take several twists and turns, they cannot even read smoothly. I can only stare blindly and worry.
And when the literal meaning cannot be understood. Naturally, it is impossible to talk about clarifying the intricate interest relationships behind it. And put forward any constructive opinions - this current situation determined by their background is almost an insurmountable chasm!
Among them, Luosha's situation is better. She was born in a noble family and is somewhat aware of the tricks in the aristocratic circle. And more importantly, the practical management experience of leading a team all year round is enough to enable her to sensitively avoid some traps and face the essence of the problem even if she cannot understand it for a while.
But it's a pity. She is just one person. Manpower is limited, and she cannot do it while sorting out trivial and detailed data, considering the meaning behind each detail, and making accurate decisions at the same time... This work is too huge, and she The companions around me, who had only taken care of vegetable gardens and sheep before, could not provide any help.
At this time, Bosco's role is undoubtedly magnified. After all, he is also a viscount, the head of a family, and has been immersed in the aristocratic circle for many years. Although Bosco cannot fully understand these familiar words and things, his long-term experience is enough to interpret this official discourse. Things, achieve the greatest possible vernacular translation. and the various interests represented behind the remarks.
Of course, this move was unanimously appreciated by those senior executives who were obsessed with this thing, so. That was the flattering scene just after the meeting.
To be honest, Bosco looked down on these senior officials, both before and now. The entire Gray Army, and only Luo Sha, made him a little afraid.
But Luo Sha... walked forward slowly and unhurriedly. Bosco's old eyes narrowed slightly and he shook his head slightly.
He is still not optimistic about the future of the Gray Army because he is too aware of the methods of those great nobles. Even the new aristocratic forces that are now closely connected treat the Gray Army with courtesy because they still have value to them, but in essence they still treat them with contempt. The fundamental contradiction between the two sides has not been eliminated, and it will explode one day...
But what does this have to do with me? The corner of Bosco's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer.
The possibility of conflict was still far away, but he had already planned it. After settling the matter on the Gray Army's side, they will turn their attention to Bran's upper level. As a member of the House of Representatives, he basically has smooth access wherever he goes. With this foundation, it was only a matter of time before he compiled a network of relationships that belonged to him. Then he slowly bleached his family's identity as a gray soldier and officially entered the upper echelons of Bran...
Haha, everything is ready, and there is much to do!
…
…
Bosco was a little arrogant with the thought of reminiscing about the hardships and sweetness, and when he was smug and ready to roll up his sleeves and do something big, he didn't know his destination, which was a person in the family residence, and he was taken to this place. Fan Liang threw it to the ground carefully, jumped up and stepped on it a few times until it was broken into pieces...
"Remember, no matter how big brother reacts after hearing this, even if he hits you, you are not allowed to say a word of defense. Just kneel here with your head lowered... Don't worry, with Third Uncle here, you won't die. , as for the rest...well, Third Uncle can only help you so much..."
In the hall, Enoch walked around anxiously, thinking of something from time to time, and immediately hurriedly explained to Borg who was kneeling in the center of the hall.
"Yes, Third Uncle. But..." Borg nodded subconsciously upon hearing this, and then grabbed his hair with a tangled look on his face, "Why is this?"
A few days ago, just after he was drunk and proudly explained what he had done to his third uncle Enoch, he saw Enoch froze on the spot for a while, then came back to his senses and turned to him with a livid face. He grabbed the carriage and without saying anything, left the city overnight and headed straight for Dawn City.
In the middle of the journey, Enoch went out to do some things, and he was guarded by several masters of the family in the carriage. They did not meet again until outside Dawn City. After a few days, Borg didn't get any explanation. He was brought here so stupidly, and then knelt down and listened to the earnest instructions... Well, he was helpless and guilty. What kind of situation was this?
"I told you not to ask!" Enoch suddenly roared loudly, waving his arms with a slightly ferocious expression, and then squatted down in front of Borg like a deflated ball, and "licked" the dryness. Lips, smiled bitterly, "You are in big trouble this time."
"A big disaster? Just because I revealed Tang En's portrait and identity to the Temple of Light?" Borg became more and more confused as he listened. Looking at the bitter uncle in front of him, who could even squeeze out some salt, he cautiously asked , "Are you worried about retaliation? Gray space? Or Chief Losa... Don't worry, my nephew is not that stupid. The painter who painted the portrait has been silenced by me, and the person who conveyed the news was a child. He handled it very cleanly. , leaving no trace.”
"Tang En, Tang En, Tang En... Do you only have Tang En in your eyes?" Rubbing his forehead, Enochana sighed, "Oh, this is actually our fault for not telling the details. Let me listen to you... do you think that my eldest brother and I don’t know about Tang En’s intention to kill people from the Temple of Light?”
"Well……"
"In fact, we have known it for a long time, and so have others, including Luo Sha. Let's put it this way, although Tang En did not tell this matter openly, he was cunning and cautious by nature, but he casually revealed it several times. Judging from the information released, he has no intention of hiding it at all. Because if we can't stop him, then we can only help him hide it. "
"Why, why?"
"Because the Temple of Light cannot be offended, especially our Gray Army, we cannot be caught with any big handle... The reasons are very complicated. Big brother should be aware of it. I only have a partial understanding and can't explain it. In short... "
After a pause, Enoch looked at Borg, who was gradually looking frightened, shook his head and sighed: "You think you just framed Tang En this time, but in fact, you dragged down our family and the entire Gray Army. There’s water!”
In the silent hall, soft sighs slowly echoed until the sound disappeared. Bang, Borg's body slumped to the ground, trembling slightly, and his face was pale.
After a moment, a crying voice said, "Uncle Third, save me..."
